The Canton RUCK RUN 5K is more than a race — it’s a community coming together to honor service, support local veterans, and move with purpose.
Whether you choose to run, walk, or ruck, this event welcomes all ages and abilities. Veterans, active duty, civilians, families, students, teams — everyone has a place here.
In our inaugural year, this event sold out in just 100 days, raised thousands of dollars for local veterans’ service organizations, and supported local veterans and their families beyond race day.
Year Two is about building on that momentum — together.
